We all know how difficult it can be for students to research scholarships for their schooling, but we also know that there are hundreds of scholarships that go unclaimed every year! Part of this is because students don't know where to look for them. Other factors are a lack of available information from their schools, due to overworked teachers and counselors, or a lack of encouragement from their parents.

If you know young people who are interested in applying for college but don't know where to look for scholarships, please send them this list of websites to look through for scholarships!

In honor of Black History Month, join me at the Las Vegas City Council meeting on Feb. 1, as we honor KCEP Power 88.1. Radio for 40 years of service.

COFFEE WITH THE COUNCILMAN

Join me for coffee and conversation on Thursday, Feb. 2, from 9 to 10 a.m. at Starbucks, located at 751 N. Rancho Drive at Bonanza Road. Let's discuss our vision for Ward 5 and what we can do together to achieve those goals. This is a great way to talk with me about exciting events I am planning for the remainder of the year and for early next year! There are so many ways to be involved with our community, so join me for a cup of coffee or tea – on me!
